Huo Guang left the somewhat noisy place and came to another room, which was full of county leaders, where Huo Guang had told him the situation before he went to meet with the merchants.

When the county guard Chu Yuxiong saw Huo Guang coming back, he asked, "How is the situation ahead?" Your plan is not easy to implement. ”

Huo Guang said helplessly: "It's a little noisy, after all, it violates certain interests, and there are a lot of restrictions, so it's noisy, but as long as the source of pearl salt is only in our hands, they have to do it according to our rules, and the quarrel will always stop, and the production method of pearl salt should not be spread in the short term." ”

Chu Yuxiong then asked: "Then let's get down to business, you can talk about how to collect the salt tax next." ”

"The current salt tax is divided into two steps, one part is its own salt tax, which is added to the salt price sold by the salt company to the salt shop, and the tax is at the price, at least one percent of the sales, and now it is slightly higher because of the scarcity, and the second part is the value-added tax, which I explained to you before, the more expensive they sell, the higher the collection."

"These two parts of the tax, the salt tax is placed in the salt company, in addition to the salt company personnel salaries and other expenses, every year according to the proportion of salt sales in each county to the county Shaofu Yuan, and then the county itself to distribute the expenditure, of course, part of it will be in the county, become the county development funds."

"The second part of the value-added tax, the counties themselves check with the salt merchants every month to collect taxes, and the young government and county officials have a certain percentage of bonuses according to the tax revenue, because the tax collection requires the cooperation of the county officials, and the bonuses are issued in an open and fair manner, which can reduce the possibility of salt merchants buying county officials, and then strengthen supervision."

In fact, Huo Guang deliberately said it unclearly, he understood that in this era, how could officials make so much money just by relying on salaries, so the second part of the value-added tax was actually arranged for the county Shaofu Yuan and other officials, as long as the source was controlled, a large part of the money could always be used on the right path.

Except for Huo Zhongru, everyone else is an experienced official, and after thinking about it carefully, they understand that they are all right rules on the surface, but there is still a lot of room for operation in secret.

The county magistrate of Xiahe County Zhang first stood up to support Huo Guang: "I think Huo Guang's plan is very good, it can increase tax revenue for the counties and counties, control sales, and over the years, I also know that there are a lot of salt merchants who have run away, but there is nowhere to verify, Huo Guang and the Sang family contributed pearl salt to contribute to Hedong County, which is really worth encouraging, and there may be some areas that need to be improved after the actual operation, but overall, I am very supportive." ”

County Magistrate Zhang spoke first, and the other people who were a little hesitant also fell to this side, Chu Yuxiong was very satisfied with this situation, everyone agreed, and maybe he could still make political achievements in the future, he had no reason to refuse.

Up to the county guard, down to the county officials, everyone has money, there are political achievements, Huo Guang seems to be generous, and he contributes money and efforts, but Sang Hongyang and him are the source of pearl salt, bigger and stronger, he has more money.

Different from the noisy and noisy in front, the atmosphere here is happy, and after the discussion is settled, the people disperse one after another.

County Magistrate Zhang stayed here, found Huo Guang alone, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ah Guang has done a good job, he is worthy of being the son of Huo Shaofu." ”

"County Magistrate Zhang praised it falsely."

"Jiaqi has improved a lot with you, very good, very good." County Magistrate Zhang is very concerned about Zhang Jiaqi's situation.

"County Magistrate Zhang, don't look at Jiaqi's usual personality and playfulness, but as soon as he gets things done, he is very serious and devoted."

Huo Guang didn't particularly praise him, that is, to be honest, since he let Zhang Jiabo be served by the family law at home, he made up his mind to follow Huo Guang, and there was a big change in his mentality, that is, he was not an abandoned child, and his grandfather loved him far more than he thought he could.

Young people at this age are the most likely to get lost and the easiest to find their way.

In other words, he has found the goal of realizing his self-worth, that is, he has followed Huo Guang to make a career and slap those who look down on him in the face.

Devoted two hundred and thirty-three .5 points of enthusiasm to work, getting up early every day and being greedy for darkness without complaining, Huo Guang fed him a cake at the right time and appropriately, and the food was fragrant, and he didn't even need to paint a cake for him, he would paint it for himself.

With a meager salary, he does the work of cattle and horses, because of his status, it doesn't matter if he has money or not, the main thing is to realize his self-worth.

This kind of aspiring youth is the young man that every ruthless capitalist admires the most.

County Magistrate Zhang said with relief: "Ah Guang, Jiaqi will be handed over to you, don't treat him favorably because he is my grandson, he should be scolded, he should be punished, if he is disobedient, you can come and tell me directly, if there is any dirty work, you can hand it over to him, and polish his stinky temper." ”

"County Magistrate Zhang, don't worry, Ah Guang will do things with me, I will treat him as my brother, I will not treat him badly, and I will not indulge him."

Huo Guanggao's answer made County Magistrate Zhang very satisfied, nodded and said, "Ah Guang, come to the house to sit when you have time." ”

The county magistrate Zhang who walked out of the door suddenly arrived first, Huo Guang seems to be old now, and he hasn't discussed his relatives yet, so he patted his head, can't this be arranged for him? Immediately rushed to the tribe.

Back to Shangjia's side, the noise has basically stopped, although he is not satisfied with Huo Guang's big deal, and he is worried that he will be restricted by Huo Guang's salt company, but who doesn't want to do the pearl salt business now? Eventually, all the salt merchants stayed.

Huo Guang looked at it and lowered his posture and said: "You are all people with heads and faces in the county, even if you are old and experienced, you are my Huo Guang's elder uncle, maybe I Huo Guang still have some whispers about what I Huo Guang did today, you can come to me and say, I am a nostalgic person, and I know and cooperate with you, it can be regarded as a fate, so I hope that the next cooperation can be smooth and stable, as long as you abide by the rules, you will not easily change people in the future, and you will not easily add people, and the location of everyone's salt shop is also far away, Each holds a share so that everyone can make money, right? ”

They all understood what Huo Guang meant in an instant, in the future, the salt merchants would be just them, and it would not be so easy for others to come in and sell pearl salt, you must know that the salt company was in the background of the county town, and what they said would have weight.

"Huo Gongzi, I'll do it, can I buy salt today?"

"Naturally, if you want it today, you can buy a stone of salt from each family first, and now the output of pearl salt has not kept up, so everyone is selling it tightly and making money together."

After the first person spoke, the others responded one after another, no matter what, take one step at a time, pearl salt is now in demand.

happily accepted the money, Huo Guang's salt company took the first step.

A few families are happy and a few are worried, Huo Guang is doing this here, but it is uncomfortable for the stick gang, their main business is to transport salt to the salt merchants in the county, although Huo Guang said that he only engages in pearl salt, but who can guarantee whether he will move his share next, after all, he and Huo Guang have a holiday.

In addition, there is also uncomfortable Li Yi and Zhang Jiabo, although Huo Guang is amicable on the surface, but Li Yi wants to find Huo Guang to seek cooperation, and everyone who is angry in a low voice is about to beg him, Huo Guang just refuses, he can be regarded as understanding, Huo Guang is playing with him, and he doesn't take him seriously at all.

Huo Guang felt that things were starting to get on the right track, and he would be able to do his other two things in a few days of normal operation, mechanical creatures and ransom Qingluan.
